Q&A

The CANDU MONARK reactor is a cutting-edge nuclear power solution designed for a cost-effective, energy secure, and net-zero future. It builds on the proven success of previous CANDU models and incorporates decades of design development. It’s a made-in-Canada, full-scale product created for utilities ready to deploy nuclear power at scale.

Electricity generation technologies all have environmental impacts, making it crucial to consider not just economics and safety but also their environmental footprint.

The CANDU MONARK produces power without emissions, so when replacing fossil fuels it significantly reduces CO₂ emissions. Its siting requirements are flexible, enabling easy integration into existing energy grids. All this facilitates the transition to net-zero.

Yes, like its predecessors, the CANDU MONARK produces medical-grade isotopes used in cancer detection and treatment, medical imaging and also for sterilizing medical equipment.

Ontario’s CANDU reactors produce 50% of the world’s Cobalt-60 isotope supply.

These reactors also produce or will soon produce Molybdenum-99 (cancer, heart disease), Lutetium-177, Helium-3 (medical imaging, quantum computing, neutron research, border control), Tritium (medical research, self-powered lights) and heavy water (magnetic resonance imaging, helps pharmaceuticals last longer in bloodstream, sustains nuclear chain reaction).

As of 2022, nuclear power generated approximately 15% of Canada's total electricity. The majority comes from nuclear plants in Ontario, where nuclear power generates about 60% of the province's electricity. The largest operators of nuclear power in Canada are Ontario Power Generation and Bruce Power.
